Location: Edge Global

The conference room is filled with National City's CEOs and investors from around the country. The room is mostly filled with middle aged men besides (Y/N) and Lena and a couple of women investors and assistants. Morgan Edge paces himself around the room, trying to convince his partners for the past hour to invest their pockets into building  more luxury condos and making more space for new country clubs.

"My dear colleagues. If 85% of us agree to invest into building these structures, we'll be making profit within the same year. The homeless would be taken care of and constructions would be in effect immediately."

Everyone in the room sits on their options. (Y/N) solely focuses on her digital watch, showing no interest in investing on this silly project just to stuff the pockets for these money thirsty vultures.

"Mr. Edge. Your proposal seems very ridiculous to me. Why create new luxury condos when we can invest our money on aiding the communities. Kicking out the homeless? That's just a pathetic move. Why not build homes for them? Why not build new parks for the children? Your future construction site is literally blocks away from a children's hospital." (Y/N) looks away from her watch and looks at Lena who's sitting right across her.

The CEO speaks up again, not giving Edge the time to reply.

"That children's hospital is also known as Luthor's Children's Hospital. The CEO who invests their time and money on the children who are fighting for their lives. Why not build a playground for them? Give the gift of positivity for them?"

The young Luthor stays quiet and eyebrows the older CEO in front of her. Edge stops pacing himself once he reaches his chair.

"Supporting the Luthors I see. Gentlemen, do you remember when Lex was CEO, he lost control with the power he held? Created scandals and backside dealings. Maybe Miss Luthor over here something wrapped around Miss (Y/L/N) and trying to cover up her brother's bad reputation by using children? Doing these "good" deeds. These -"

Lena was becoming angry and that she felt like she needed to defend her brother. Lex is a changed man now and the reason he stepped down is because he wants to own up to his mistakes. He felt guilty for a while for abusing his power and treated people unfairly. (Y/N) wanted to stand up for the young Luthor in the room but did not utter a word since she knew she would say something back.

"My brother is a changed man! He owned up to his mistakes and trusted me to carry on the company. He trusts a woman to take the reigns unlike you and other people in this fucking room. All you care for is pleasing women with your egos and money." Lena said sternly.

Edge laughs it off while the room stands quite. (Y/N) calmly stood up and faced the biggest idiot.

"Seems like I wasted my time here and I thought you CEOs would propose some good deals. Yet I'm just listening to just pure bullshit. Ladies. Gentlemen. Would you please excuse me, I rather be somewhere else than here."
